Peel and chop the Russet potatoes, carrots, parsnips, and rutabaga into evenly sized chunks, about 1.5 inches each for even cooking.
Peel the garlic cloves and set them aside.
Fill a large pot with water, add a pinch of salt, and bring it to a boil.
Carefully add the chopped vegetables and garlic to the boiling water. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are fork-tender.
While the vegetables are cooking, heat the olive oil in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the thyme leaves and stir gently for 1-2 minutes to release their aroma. Set aside.
Once the vegetables are cooked, drain them thoroughly in a colander and return them to the pot.
Add butter, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and the oil infused with thyme to the pot with the drained vegetables.
Mash the mixture using a potato masher or a hand mixer until you reach your desired consistency (chunky or smooth). Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Transfer the mashed root veggies to a serving bowl and garnish with an extra sprinkle of fresh thyme if desired.
Serve warm as a side dish or a main dish with crusty bread or a fresh salad.
